Ah I see Alabama only has 1 Democrat district out of the 7 they have. Yep this is a garbage method to give dems more seats.
Shouldn’t all the districts be drawn as proportional to the society? So if blacks are 30% they should have no more than 30% in a district.
Districts are supposed to be designed with population key to the ‘curves’. Two of the unique factors in drawing the state map...the growth of Huntsville/5th District, and the key power of the black democratic vote in the 7th district.
